- Poplar Wood - Poplar wood is classified as a hardwood but it differs from many other hardwoods in its lighter weight and softer texture. The fine grain of poplar wood results in a smooth surface that takes paint and stain exceptionally well, allowing for versatile finishing options.
Poplar is a popular choice for furniture frames, drawers, interior components, and upholstered furniture. Its light weight and smooth surface make it ideal for these applications. Additionally, poplar finds its way into various items like musical instruments, toys, chopsticks, and even cheese boxes due to its neutral taste and odor.
